Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has warned that a potential reunion between Tottenham and Mauricio Pochettino could “end in tears”. This comes after Spurs’ former boss, who guided the north London side to the Champions League final in 2019, has been hotly tipped to replace the under-fire Antonio Conte.
Those discussions ramped up further after the side’s underwhelming exit from the Champions League on Wednesday. The full-time whistle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium brought about a chorus of boos from the home faithful, swiftly followed by some sections chanting the name of Pochettino.
Should Daniel Levy believe change is necessary, the Spurs chairman could easily turn to their former employee to rejuvenate the club’s atmosphere. However, Carragher has rubbished these suggestions of Pochettino being a good fit, instead believing the reappointment would be a “damning indictment” on how the club has operated since he left more than three years ago.
